Cemented With Blood.
Tin: prtMti^t calamity that can bufail a confirmed Mnokcr "5 to have his cbenshed meerschaum broken, as frequently happens by a> fall 01 other accident. When this happen^ the fiacturqd idol is generally taken to a jeweilcrfe and the dismembered pnitsrcjmncrt by mean? of silvei bands. This, of couise, is, expensive, but when was the time when a Yankee could not overcome dffiicuUiaß of this suit at tufling cost.' A smoker of Biddcfoid, Me., happened to diop n handsomo mccischaum pipe from his knees to the floor, and the stem parted in the middle. His frit nds immediately e.\pre«ecd their sj mpathy with him, but the man was not in the least diiturbwl by the disaster. He simply diew his knife from his pocket, extracted blood from his aim with one of the keen blades, and nibbing the broken ends of the pipe in the fhud priced them together, and laid the aiticlc on a table to diy. It was a novel wcpenment, but it is snul that it will work succchsfully eveiy time, and that if a pipe is once broken and cemented with blood it will never a^ain part in that place. — Ihddrford Journal.
